You missed croft off your list. Will the GREEN machine be there?

**Sanchez_** · 30-12-2008, 10:51 PM

andy escos · 30-12-2008, 11:13 PM

yes m8 it was quite easy only ball ache was taking box out and strengthening bulk head 4 pedal box but clutch much lighter now well worth the effort

PAUL_SHEP · 31-12-2008, 07:38 PM

thanks 4 the coments m8 im not doing the body until next year but all green could be on the cards

.

andy escos · 10-01-2009, 12:48 PM

just had my front geometry set up this morning but could not get my castor right tried to set it to mike rainbirds settings but ive ended up with this

toe in 2mm total

camber 2.5. degrees negative

castor 5. degrees

could not get castor due to drive shaft binding with top mount all the way in
so turned top mount to centre line but facing rear wards but then wheels touch arch at back so had to set castor at 5 degrees to centre wheel in arch ,
it feels a lot more stable now but time will tell.

LINCOLN · 14-01-2009, 01:26 AM

Sweet car.

Kawasaki green with anthracite wheels!!
